If the eyes are the windows of the soul

These photos were actually taken the other evening, so there may be EVEN MORE developments that we haven’t seen, but I did want to share the fact that the windows and doors are being installed in our laneway.

Eventually we will be able to access that side of the house without walking a plank. The upper window on the left is the tiny one-foot-tall window that will be between the upper and lower cabinets in the kitchen. The window below that is our bedroom window, and the one on the right beside the door is on the stairs. These stairs:

They go up from the yard-side entrance to the kitchen/sitting area.

Here’s a view of the stairs and window from inside.

You can see the framing of the half-wall overlooking the stairs, and the window facing west from the landing.

Here’s me on our deck outside the sitting area window.

You can see the window on the right that overlooks the living roof from our kitchen. These two windows, and the one overlooking the lane from the sitting area are tilt and turn windows. I tilted them and turned them just for fun.

Fiberglass windows – that sounds nice. We’d already committed too much of our budget when we were introduced to that option. Mind you, we’re really hooked on wood. They’ll take more maintenance but we’re up for it!
